To have a home for people

who need shelter.

Now I'm here, it's difficult.

I've got no one.

I have to start from nothing,

so I take any job.

Any job I can get.

Oh... That's dead sad, that.

Will you come home with me tonight?

Get it down here!

- Come in.

- Oh, I'm freezin'!

Close the door.

All right?

Jesus, it's freezin'.

I'm sorry it's so... so messy here.

Sit somewhere.

I'll tell you what, I'll get off

because it's dead late and everything.

- I really should've gone back to the refuge.

- You don't have to go now.

Sorry if you think

I've messed you about, but...

- I just don't want to be here.

- I don't understand. Look...

You've missed the bus,

it's dark, it's late.

It's dangerous, it's wet.

I mean, what are you going to do there?

Let's have a coffee and see...

what more minutes... four, five minutes.

All right, one coffee,

and then I'll get off.

- OK. I'll help you with your coat.

- No, no, you make the coffee.

It's all right, I'll do this myself.

It's freezing.

What are all these pictures?

Are these of all of your family?

Yes, yes.

- You've got it nice here, haven't you?

- Yeah, it is... I like it.

You wanna see where I live.

It's like a cupboard.

- Milk and sugar?

- Yeah, love. Ta.

- Here's the coffee.

- Oh, ta.

God, you don't realise how much sound goes

round your head till there's nothing there.

Tell me... why they would

take your kids away from you?

Because...

I went out with this fella...

and... when I first met him,

it was brilliant.

We used to have a laugh.

Everything was great.

Used to follow me down the supermarket

and chat me up.

I used to be dead flattered,

but I'd pretend I wasn't.

Mickey, don't hang on to the trolley.

Get some jelly for us, eh?

Just round there.

Can you rea...?

Here you go.

- Go on.

- What one do you want?

- Is that the one you want? What is it?

- Orange.

That's my favourite.

- One of yours?

- Yeah.

Where'd you get to last night?

- What do you mean?

- I was gonna buy you a drink.

Who's the man of the house then?

Sean here. He's the man of my house,

aren't you, love?

Well, I'm pleased to meet you, Sean.

'You'd have liked the kids.

'Mary, the baby,

she's always laughing.

'Very charming. Then there's Serena.

'She's dead temperamental.

'You've only got to look at her

the wrong way and she cries.

'And then there's Mickey.

He was dead funny.

'Brilliant sense of humour.

'I once asked him what he wanted to be

and he said, "I want to be everything."

'That's brilliant - someone who's got

nothing wants to be everything -'

imagine what's going on in his brain.

He was always last,

always toddled behind.

And then there was Sean.
